1 Midterm Results with a Bipolar Radial Head Prosthesis: Radiographic Evidence of Loosening at the Bone-Cement Interface by Nebojsa Popovic, Roger Lemaire, Pierre Georis, and Philippe Gillet J Bone Joint Surg Am Volume 89(11):2469-2476 November 1, 2007 ©2007 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

2 The prosthesis consists of two parts: a radial head made of high-density polyethylene enclosed in a cobalt-chromium cup and a cemented intramedullary stem with a spherical proximal end articulating with the polyethylene liner.

3 The seven delineated sections around the radial component for zonal evaluation of radiographic changes. Nebojsa Popovic et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2007;89:2469- 2476 ©2007 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

4 Assessment of distal migration of the radial head prosthesis with use of an analysis program built with the Imagika software. Nebojsa Popovic et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2007;89:2469- 2476 ©2007 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

5 Proximal bone resorption is present while the distal end of the prosthesis remained rigidly fixed in the cement. Nebojsa Popovic et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2007;89:2469- 2476 ©2007 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

6 Seven years after surgery, the patient had a good functional result and mild residual discomfort with activities of daily living despite osteolysis and obvious prosthetic loosening.
